Romanism and the Reformation
By Editor
THE following notice of a book entitled "Romanism and the Reformation," by H. Grattan Guinness of England, which appeared in the Christian Union, gives a good idea of the tender regard which the so-called Protestantism of to-day has for the Roman Catholic Church:— "Dr. Guinness, who is alarmed and distressed at the growth which the Roman Catholic Church has made during the last half-century, especially in his own country, finds in the prophetic writings of Daniel and the Apocalypse the most trenchant of anti-Papal arguments. He has accordingly elaborated these arguments in a series of popular lectures, delivered last spring in Exeter Hall, and now sent out for a larger audience. Without discussing his principles of prophetic interpretation, which have probably few adherents, we doubt that he will lead many not otherwise fortified to avoid the 'horned beast.' When he urges a return to the Reformation methods of dealing with the Papacy, he ignores too much the changes which three centuries have wrought."
